Stained Glass Jello Cake: A Retro Dessert Recipe

Ingredients

• 5 (3 ounce) packages sweetened gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®), 5 different colors
• 3.5 cups boiling water, divided
• 3.5 cups cold water, divided
• cooking spray
• 1 (1 ounce) package unflavored gelatin powder
• 1 (14.1 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1.25 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Pour each gelatin mix into its own bowl. Add 1/2 cup of boiling water to one bowl, stirring for about 2 minutes until the gelatin dissolves completely. Mix in 1/2 cup of cold water. Repeat for all remaining gelatin colors. Chill all bowls in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely set.
2. Lightly coat a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
3. Take the gelatin out of the fridge and cut each color into cubes. Put the cubes into a bowl and gently toss them together to mix the colors randomly. Transfer the mixed cubes into the prepared pan.
4. Pour the remaining 1 cup of cold water into a bowl and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the top. Let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes until dissolved. Add the remaining 1 cup of boiling water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
5. In a blender, combine the condensed milk, cream, gelatin mixture, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and thoroughly mixed, about 30 seconds. Pour this mixture evenly over the gelatin cubes in the cake pan. Use a spatula to spread the milk mixture evenly.
6. Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
7. Carefully slide a knife around the edges of the cake pan. Invert the cake onto a serving plate.
